Laser Treatments

Skin concerns such as pigmentation, acne scars, uneven texture, and fine lines can affect both confidence and comfort. Laser treatments offer a targeted and medically guided way to improve these concerns by stimulating the skin’s natural renewal processes.

At Auria Dermatology Clinic, laser treatments are performed by a dermatologist after careful assessment of your skin type, condition, and goals. Each treatment plan is personalised to ensure safety, effectiveness, and a gradual, natural-looking improvement.

What can laser treatments help with?

Laser therapy may be recommended for:
  • Pigmentation
  • Melasma
  • Acne scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Selected benign skin lesions
  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing

Not all concerns require aggressive treatment. The type of laser used depends on your diagnosis, skin sensitivity, and recovery preferences.

Types of Laser Treatments

Lasers used at targeting pigment typically include Q-switch Nd:YAG and PICO laser. PICO laser uses ultra-short pulses of energy to target pigmentation and stimulate collagen with minimal heat damage to surrounding skin.

It is commonly used for:

  • Solar lentigines
  • Acne marks
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Melasma
  • Tattoo removal – will recommend to add on Q-switch ND:YAG laser as well for better efficacy, depending on the selected colour of the tattoo to be removed

Pigment laser treatments are generally well tolerated, with minimal downtime for suitable candidates.

CO₂ laser is an ablative laser that removes damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production beneath.

It may be recommended for the removal of:

  • Selected benign growths such as seborrheic keratosis, skin tags and syringomas
  • Viral warts

Fractional laser treatment can include ablative methods via fractional Co2 laser or non-ablative fractional PICO laser, which delivers controlled micro-columns of energy into the skin, leaving surrounding areas intact to support faster healing. As fractional CO2 laser is a stronger resurfacing treatment, recovery time may be longer compared to non-ablative lasers. Your dermatologist will advise whether this option is appropriate.

It is often used for:

  • Acne scars
  • Skin texture improvement
  • Fine lines
  • Keloids
  • Mild pigmentation

Fractional laser resurfacing helps stimulate collagen while allowing gradual skin renewal over time.

What to expect during laser treatment

Laser procedures are performed in-clinic and typically take a short time, depending on the treatment area.

During your visit:

  • Your skin will be assessed and prepared.
  • Protective measures will be taken for comfort and safety.
  • Post-treatment care instructions will be provided clearly.

You may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity after treatment. Downtime varies depending on the type of laser used.
